Would you like to be a Warrior or a Stalker as a Chua?

Yes

No

I understand Chua's are scientists and create advanced weapons and technology, but why can't they be Warriors or Stalkers. I can understand them being Spellslingers and Espers because they are inventors and have the intelligence to do so, but why can't they be intelligent and kick some ass up front in the battlefield.

For warrior I would say they're too short to wield a huge two-handed sword. For stalker I would say their ADD won't allow them the focus to assassinate a target.

Except, you have the Asura in Guild Wars 2, tiny little people and they can wield huge two-handed swords, and shields, bows, etc.

I believe the reason why they decided not to let chuas be warriors or stalkers, has to do with adapting armor and weapons/animations for them, which I believe, one of the devs mentioned in an interview that it is time consuming and very expensive to do, maybe they decided to allocate their resources somewhere else. Anywho, as much as I would like to play a Chua warrior, I'm okay with playing an esper or a spellslinger.

That Two-handed sword can be scaled down to the Chua's size. I wouldn't say ADD, there just a little crazy.

I think what Wildstar wants with warrior is UUMPH. Strength, power, that sort of thing, so a Chua doesn't feel that way even if they scaled it down. It might work for other games with tiny creatures, but maybe Carbine doesn't want to go that route.

Yeah, ADD was probably a bit much, but crazy is right on. Instead of killing their target, they might kill the entire family, with a bomb.

Honestly the chua look too pudgy and chubby to be good at physical combat based classes. They might be able to be a sneaky race but I can't see them lodge a dagger very deeply into someone's back unless it was launched from some machine they built.

Plus, it would make even less sense if chua could be warriors before the aurin could.

Honestly if they can dodge an attack, they can swing a sword or stab someone in the back.

As well another point, if the Exiles cutesy race can be a Stalker, why can't Chua's.

Warriors and stalkers are very aggressive classes that physically dominate their prey.

Chua are tiny scientist types.

Yes, other games may have embraced a sloppy free-for-all where anyone can be anything, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing. Like Extatica pointed out, you'll still be able to play a Chua tank if you absolutely must do that.

I get what your saying. I guess i'll wait to see the next class to make my final decision.

Second, distributing somewhat based on race is so that it all makes sense.

I personally prefer an "any race, any class" system, but this is Carbine's game. As I understand it, there will be four classes to a race, optimally. Though hell hath no fury like a fan base that will lash out if say, Exiles get one more esper option than Dominion, and Dominion gets one more spellslinger option, just as an example (people are fickle and stupid.)
